	Laura DiDio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laura DiDio is a senior analyst, formerly with Giga Information Group (now Forrester Research) and currently (2004) with The Yankee Group consulting firm in Boston.
		DiDio is often viewed as being very critical of the Open Source movement and community due to her early support of SCO and frequent referencing of those studies comparing the TCO of Microsoft and Linux where Microsoft appears to have performed well.
		DiDio made a splash on the national scene many years before she turned to reporting the computer industry.

		Laura's expertise in the industry has taken her from being a reporter in the high-tech trade press to covering the networking industry's top analyst firms.
		Before Giga, Laura was at Computerworld where she was the senior editor, networking, from 1994 to 1998.
		Still, DiDio pointed out that given the copyrights and the fact that SCO has retained attorney David Boies in its case against Big Blue, this is not a specious legal action.

	GrokLaw: Where Was Ms. DiDio On This Day of Days?
		"Laura DiDio, an analyst at The Yankee Group in Boston, said she was shown two or three samples of the allegedly copied Linux code, and it appeared to her that the sections were a 'copy and paste' match of the SCO Unix code that she was shown in comparison.
		"DiDio and the other analysts were able to view the code only under a nondisclosure agreement, so she couldn't divulge intricate details of what she was shown.
		But DiDio says the developing battle could hinge on legal fine points that are hard to sort out in the current atmosphere of claims, denials, and counterclaims.

		DiDio said it would not be difficult for IBM to convince corporate users of the value of its WebSphere application server, which the company says should be available in early December.
		DiDio said that rather than a single point of failure, corporations now face a much more complex infrastructure with more sophisticated operating systems and many applications.
		DiDio said the traditional IBM testing meant that "leading-edge users" had helped determine what did or did not go into the new WebSphere software.

	CRM News: RFID : Microsoft Plans RFID Software
		Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio said suppliers looking to cut costs are somewhat resistant to RFID -- typically limiting their adoption of the technology to what is required by retailers such as Wal-Mart.
		DiDio called Microsoft's planned RFID middleware "more of a management product" and said the company was also signaling to.NET developers that it had an RFID strategy and platform for them.
		DiDio said Microsoft is part of a crowded market in RFID that has included a partnership between SAP and Intermec.

		As long as there is Linux, DiDio noted, the level of passionate involvement in the user community is likely to remain.

		Apparently the most telling evidence is that parts of the SCO code and Linux code include identical annotations made by developers when they wrote the programs, says DiDio, who compares such notes to the signature or fingerprint of a developer's work.
		"The fact that these appear to be transposed from Unix System V into Linux I find to be very damaging." DiDio says she was shown several instances where the source code and developer's comments in one operating system were the same as in the other operating system.
		DiDio says she's recommending that companies using AIX or Linux systems from IBM check the fine print in their contracts to see how well they're covered against potential claims from SCO Group.

		Take a look at this article, which is all about governments around the world switching to OpenOffice, including the government of Israel recently, but then DiDio steps in with her pearls of wisdom.
		"Didio is quick to point out however that few organizations appear to look at the true total cost of ownership of open source solutions, specifically as it relates to indemnification (from the SCO Group lawsuit principally).
		I thought the game was to force it to happen, but I note she doesn't even mention the HP indemnification against SCO lawsuits or the Red Hat litigation fund, perhaps because neither costs you anything.

	Technology News: Software : SCO Takes Linux Licensing Fight Further
		However, Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio is advising customers not to dismiss SCO's licensing offer, despite the arguments of those who think SCO's claims will not be taken seriously in court.
		DiDio, who said SCO's copyright registrations illustrate the company's seriousness about its claims and represent a step toward possible litigation, described SCO's actions as "a very wise course."
		DiDio criticized IBM's lack of indemnification of customers in the legal case and noted that by stating Linux creator Linus Torvalds had inherited the copyright violation and was therefore not responsible for it, SCO is "trying to ruffle as few feathers as possible."
